SoundCloud Social

Play tracks from soundcloud collaboratively and chat about them. Heavily inspired by http://www.youtubesocial.com The track is started synchronously. All participants always hear the same position of the song. Everyone can chat with each other while the track plays.

This hack was build by Johan after an idea by Nils at the Music Hack Day Barcelona 2010.

Used technology: SoundCloud Javascript Widget Player Rails 3 Socky
